Dear Friends of l’Eté du Vin I sincerely appreciate your support for l’Eté du Vin and our collective and singular goal to win the fight against cancer. Tonight I challenge everyone reading this to help us raise $1,000,000 for the cause. For all of us, cancer is much more than just a word, it is a story of triumph and of tragedy; triumph for those we all know who have overcome cancer and the tragedy of our personal losses. We can do more. Through the many Nashville Wine Auction events and with your generous support, we can all make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer, whether through funding research in an effort to find a cure, providing financial assistance to families that have been affected by the disease, or in granting a wish that gives a needed glimmer of “normalcy” to those having to view life through the sometimes cloudy lens of treatment. Amid the numerous stories of triumph and tragedy, we choose to celebrate the gift of life with some of the most esteemed women in the world of wine:

• Zelma Long

• Vitalie Taittinger

• Shannon Staglin

• Pam Starr

• Marimar Torres

• Lindy Novak

• Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi

Several of these women were honored at l’Eté du Vin 20 years ago. I was proud to chair the 19th Annual l’Eté du Vin and am honored to chair again this year. Without the support of these women, this event would not be possible. Furthermore, a most deserved thank you to Holly Whaley and the Nashville Wine Auction team, to our sponsors, our volunteers and all of those who give their time and wine to make l’Eté du Vin possible.

Join me tonight and raise your paddle in this collective effort to raise $1,000,000 and help replace the all too numerous stories of tragedy with triumph. Sincerely, Tom Black Tom Black

Uniting the Wine Community to Fund the Fight Against Cancer

Accelerating Generosity Through the Sharing of Wine

Mission

Vision

It began simply enough. In the summer of 1980, a group of Nashville friends, led by Tennessean critic Homer Blitch and businessman Thomas J. Milam, were looking for a new and entertaining way to raise funds for charity.

Inspiration struck, and the friends decided to host an auction of their favorite wines. Most of the bottles sold at the first (Un) Eté du Vin, A Summer of Wine, auction were opened and shared on the spot, with some $3,000 raised. Since that evening in 1980, Nashville Wine Auction has raised more than $23 million for cancer-related charities.

What sets Nashville Wine Auction apart? Part of the answer is the unique assortment of wines available for auction at each event. Part of the answer, too, lies in the events’ friendly and convivial mix of attendees. Finally, Nashville Wine Auction is unique because it has never lost sight of its original purpose. As science grows ever closer to finding better answers for detecting, diagnosing, and treating cancer, the organizers and guests of Nashville Wine Auction events find renewed purpose. Nashville Wine Auction remains focused on its mission of uniting the wine community to fund the fight against cancer.

Our Beneficiaries

Since Nashville Wine Auction’s inception in 1980, more than $23 million has been raised for organizations whose purpose is directly related to patient care, treatment, and the eradication of cancer. Much of the costs to produce the auction are underwritten by corporate sponsors. Individuals, wine producers and other businesses donate auction items, with the single objective of generating as much money as possible for cancer related programs. Nashville Wine Auction is proud to provide financial support to these organizations in 2018.

l’Eté du Vin 2018

A California winemaking expert and global wine consultant. A business-minded marketing legacy from one of the most renowned Champagne dynasties. President of one of Napa’s most highly respected wineries. Owner, manager, and winemaker of a terroir-influenced St. Helena estate. A Barcelona-born winemaker, author, and ambassador of Spanish wines in North America. An eloquent ambassador with global marketing prowess. A central coast award-winning top Pinot producer.

Oh, and they all happen to be women.

In 1998, NWA and Tom Black put together a women-centric l’Eté du Vin to celebrate the power and success of women in the wine industry. It’s only fitting that on the twentieth anniversary of that empowered evening, we do the same. Tonight we celebrate women in wine, and we honor seven extraordinary women who are pioneering a way for young women in what has typically been a man’s world. Three of these women were even part of the celebration twenty years ago! These women are talented, fierce, and deserving of our recognition for more than simply being women.


Zelma Long, with a resume including key posts at Robert Mondavi, Simi, and Chandon Estates, has pioneered the way for women in the industry. She even became the first woman to assume senior leadership at a California winery and was the first president of the American Vineyard Foundation. She was part of the celebration in 1998, and we are honored to have her back in 2018.

Vitalie Taittinger, head of marketing for her family’s Champagne house, is a business savvy professional in her own right. Her unique combination of business skills, arts education, and expertise in wine and gastronomy make her poised for unparalleled marketing and brand ambassador capabilities at Champagne Taittinger.

Shannon Staglin, MBA in hand from UC Davis’s Graduate School of Management, oversees all aspects of Staglin Family Vineyards, serving as President and pushing the family-run estate to its full potential.

Pam Starr, with a penchant for translating terroir into wine, has made a name for herself by making distinctive Bordeaux-style blends that express a deep sense of place. With Carmenet and Spottswoode experience, she established Crocker & Starr in 1997 to major and continued success.


Marimar Torres, told by her family that the vineyard was no place for a girl, moved to the US from Barcelona. Fluent in six languages, owner of Marimar Estate Vineyards, author, and director of two Sonoma County vineyards, she is a symbol of overcoming gender stereotypes within the business world. And she became the best-known ambassador of Spanish wines in North America. Marimar is back again with us after 20 years, and we are lucky to have her!

Lindy Novak, an eloquent ambassador for Spottswoode Estate, is dedicated to guiding the estate in her role as national director of marketing. Known for her warmth, humor, and thoughtfulness, her business acumen has provided the estate with multiple opportunities and continued growth. Her accolades have only grown since 1998 when she joined us at l’Eté du Vin.

Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi, with a background in the restaurant industry, was among the top 30 Pinot producers by Wine Spectator. Her minimal intervention winemaking style captures the essence of both the grape variety and the terroir at Bonaccorsi Wine Company. Since her husband’s passing in 2004, she continues to make wine that is delicate and concentrated, remaining one of the more elegant producers of wine in the Central Coast.

These small bios don’t even scratch the surface of the spirit of these amazing wine industry legends. With seven such powerful women in one room (not to mention all the inspiring ladies of the Nashville Wine Auction community), there’s no better time to celebrate Women in Wine. Raise a glass for these powerhouse women breaking the glass ceiling!


Guest of Honor

Zelma Long

Winemaking expert and global wine consultant

Widely respected wine expertise from California and throughout the worldZelma Long, an American enologist and vintner, has left an indelible mark on winemaking in California through key posts at Robert Mondavi, Simi, and Chandon Estates, and, over the past twenty-five years, on the global wine industry through consulting work in Germany, Israel, France, and her own estate, Vilafonté, in South Africa.

In 1966, her family purchased a hillside vineyard in the Napa Valley and her love of viticulture

was born. She pursued a master’s degree in Enology and Viticulture at the University of California, Davis, in 1968. Long left in 1970, before completing her degree, to work a harvest at Robert Mondavi Winery in the Napa and was ultimately promoted to chief enologist during the boom of the 1970s.

Considered to be one of the female pioneers in California wine, Long was hired in 1979 to be chief winemaker at Simi Winery in Sonoma County, the first woman to assume senior management of a Californian winery. There she served as CEO and President from 1989 to 1996. Long is credited with breathing new life into Simi and modernizing it, introducing new winemaking techniques and establishing new vineyards. She then served as Executive Vice President at Chandon Estates until 1999 when she committed herself to running Long Vineyards, which she established with her then-husband Bob Long in St. Helena, California in 1977.


Long founded and was the first president of the American Vineyard Foundation (AVF) to help finance research in enology and viticulture, and also founded the American Viticulture and Enology Research Network (AVERN). She has been dedicated to enology research into other states, particularly Washington which she considers to have the best Merlot grapes in the world. She established Zelphi Wines with current husband Philip Freese, and has since ventured into new wine projects in Germany and South Africa, establishing the Vilafonté Wine Estate. She has said of winemaking, “Age is a precondition to greatness. Even if only 10 percent of all fine wines are fully mature before they are drunk up, it’s those great aged wines that set the standard.”

As one of the female pioneers of the development of viticulture in the United States, she is highly acclaimed, and has been a mentor to numerous aspiring female vintners in California. She was a recipient of the James Beard Award for Wine Professional of the Year in 1997, California Wine pioneer by Wine Spectator in 1993, the MASI award for her contribution to international wine in 1994, and that year she was also nominated for Woman of the Year. She is the author of books such as Enological and Technological Developments.


Guest of Honor

Vitalie Taittinger

A sparkling ambassador for the industry’s dominant Champagne dynasty

Vitalie Taittinger is head of marketing for the Champagne Taittinger and great granddaughter of founder Pierre Taittinger. She serves an ambassador for Taittinger Champagne around the world, as well as an inspiration for the Champagne house.

Taittinger graduated from the Emile Cohl

School of Art in 2001 after studying the various applied art techniques used in illustration and graphic design. As soon as she graduated, she wrote a monograph dedicated to the surrealist painter Alfred Courmes in collaboration with Gilles Bernard. This was published by ‘Le Cherche Midi’ in 2004. The book has a preface written by the philosopher Michel Onfray.

Keeping up with the entrepreneurship spirit which has always characterized her family, Taittinger created her own company in 2002 and developed numerous projects in the world of wine and gastronomy. She greatly admired her father’s brave decision to regain ownership of Taittinger Champagne and wishing to support him in this new family adventure, in 2007, she joined her father, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, in the family business.


Champagne TaittingerFounded in 1734, the Taittinger Champagne house is based in Reims. The Taittingers were a family of wine merchants who, in 1870, moved to the Paris region from the Lorraine in order to retain their French citizenship after the Franco-Prussian War (1871). In 1932, Pierre Taittinger bought the Château de la Marquetterie from the wine house of Forest-Fourneaux. The vineyards of the château were planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir since the 18th Century and developed by Brother Jean Oudart, a Benedictine monk, one of the founding fathers of Champagne wine.

From 1945 to 1960 the business was run by Pierre’s third son François. Under his direction, the Taittinger cellars were established in the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise, built in the thirteenth century in Gallo-Roman chalk pits dating from the fourth century. After François’ death in an accident, his brother Claude took over and directed the business from 1960 to 2005. It was during this time that Taittinger became a Champagne house of world renown.

Champagne Taittinger was sold in July 2005 by the Taittinger family, along with its subsidiary, Société du Louvre, to the U.S. private investment firm Starwood Capital Group. However, in May of 2006, the, with Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger in collaboration with Northeast Regional Bank of the Crédit Agricole, bought The Château de la Marquetterie, the vineyards and all its cellars back. The flagship wines of the house are the Comtes de Champagne (composed of 100% Chardonnay) and Comtes de Champagne Rosé (70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay).


Guest of Honor

Shannon Staglin

The perfect combination of family vineyard knowledge with business education

Shannon Staglin is President at Staglin Family Vineyard. After graduating from UCLA, she moved back to Napa to work as a harvest intern in 2001 where she learned the details of production and viticultural practices.

In 2002, she moved from the winery into the office where she honed her skills in marketing, hospitality, consumer and trade sales. After earning her MBA from the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, she chose to work for several years outside of the wine business to gain insight, a different perspective and valuable experience that she could one day share with Staglin

Family Vineyard. She was recruited to create the marketing program for Wells Fargo Family Wealth, providing multifamily office solutions to ultra-high net worth client families.

In 2011 Staglin returned to Staglin Family Vineyard where she now oversees all aspects of the business. Her educational and professional experiences provide a new perspective and a fresh outlook that will enhance the family business for many years to come.


Staglin Family VineyardGaren and Shari Staglin were able to purchase their Rutherford Bench estate in 1985 after spending many years learning about wine together. Their longtime dream to farm a vineyard and produce wines of great quality was something they wanted to share with their family. To encourage active participation Brandon and Shannon were offered a small cash gift to invest in the vineyard. Today all members of the family work in day to day operations of the vineyard and winery. Shannon serves as President, Brandon as Director of Marketing Communications, Shari as Chief Executive Officer and Garen as the Public Relations Manager.

In 1992 famed enologist Andre Tchelistcheff told the Staglins, “Listen to the vines — they will tell you what to do.” This wise counsel continues to be the most important element in our goal of making the best wine possible from their estate. The winemaker, Fredrik Johansson, works closely with vineyard manager, David Abreu, to carefully farm the land and coax optimal ripeness, complexity and intensity from the vines with each harvest.


Guest of Honor

Pam Starr

Passionate about the importance of soil in making excellent wines

Pam Starr has been the co-owner, manager and winemaker of Crocker & Starr since its inception in 1997 when she helped resurrect the vineyards on the Crocker Estate in St. Helena. After toiling as a winery employee for 18 years, Pam’s transformation at a relatively young age into owner, manager and winemaker was unique and remarkable. It required a special mix of skill, passion and dedication. All of which describe Pam Starr.

Pam’s love affair with winemaking began as a harvest intern for Sonoma Cutrer in Sonoma after graduating from the University of

California at Davis in 1984 with a degree in Fermentation Science. Headed down a different path, the daughter of an orthopedic surgeon who was planning to go to dental school quickly switched gears. Attracted by the fast pace, the pleasures of working the land and the wine itself, Pam knew she’d found her calling. “I was simply smitten – the way one is when falling madly in love. Winemaking is mysterious, it’s sexy, it’s magical.” And it’s been her life since.


After the internship, Pam worked for Edna Valley Vineyard in San Luis Obispo stacking barrels for a season. Her dream of becoming a winemaker began to take shape. For the next six years she was an enologist and assistant winemaker for Carmenet Winery in Sonoma, a job that taught her how to run a winery from cellar to bottle. In 1991, she became the winemaker for Spottswoode Vineyard & Winery in Napa Valley where she worked until she and Charlie Crocker established Crocker & Starr and she built the foundation of the business. At the same time Crocker & Starr opened its doors, Pam began wine consulting for Adastra Vineyard in the Carneros, Gemstone Vineyard in Yountville and Garric Cellars of Calistoga, among others.

Passionate about translating terroir into wine, Pam is known for her distinctive Bordeaux style blends that express a deep sense of place. For this enthusiastic and inspired winemaker who views her job as translating soil into wine, great wine must taste of the sun, of the earth it comes from and of the place it grows.

Pam is a member of the Napa Valley Vintners, Appellation St. Helena, American Society of Enology and Viticulture, Concierge Alliance Napa Valley and Wine Entre Femme, an international consortium of women winemakers.


Guest of Honor

Marimar Torres

Wine and food expert who combines family pride and integrity into all she does

Marimar Torres has been involved in the wine business all her life. Born in 1945 in Barcelona, Spain, she is fluent in six languages and holds a degree in Business and Economics from the University of Barcelona. She is also a graduate of the Stanford Executive Program, and studied Enology and Viticulture for a year at the University of California at Davis. At Marimar Estate Vineyards & Winery, she directs the activities at the winery and in both vineyards – Don Miguel (named after her late father) in the Russian River Valley and Doña Margarita (named after her late mother)

in the Sonoma Coast AVA, both in Sonoma County.

Prior to her involvement in the California operation, Marimar traveled extensively promoting Torres wines, first in Spain as the company’s export director and later in North America, when California became her home in 1975. At that time, shipments of Torres wines to the U.S. totaled 15,000 cases; ten years later they reached 150,000. To achieve this was not easy, though; especially in the beginning, Marimar was confronted with the common notion that the wine business was no place for a woman. Eventually, her tenacity and business acumen helped her overcome this bias, and she became the best-known ambassador of Spanish wines in North America.


In 1986, Marimar began planting the Don Miguel Vineyard, a 56-acre property in a cool microclimate ideally suited to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Today the property encompasses 81 acres, of which 30 are planted with Chardonnay and 30 with Pinot Noir. Also planted to Pinot Noir are 20 acres of a 180-acre property in West Sonoma County, between Freestone and Occidental. Due to her European heritage, emphasis on the vineyard is a natural concept for Marimar; the wines, made entirely from estate-grown grapes, are truly an expression of their unique terroir. The first release, a 1989 barrel-fermented Chardonnay, debuted in April 1991 to great acclaim. In 1992, a 15,000-case winery was built and the Estate’s first Pinot Noir was produced.

Marimar’s dedication to the wine business, however, has not come at the expense of other pursuits. With an authority on Spanish cuisine, her first book, The Spanish Table: The Cuisines and Wines of Spain, was published in 1986. Her second book, The Catalan Country Kitchen, came out in April 1992. Family pride and integrity have enabled Torres to blend centuries-old traditions with the latest innovations to produce outstanding wines known the world over. Marimar herself has become a symbol of this heritage.

To quote Charlie Deal, owner and chef at Jujube, “…[Marimar] had to fight sexism in the industry and even from her own family who seemed to find her desire to get into the family business as something cute that she would hopefully out grow so she could just settle down. Thankfully, she never did”


Guest of Honor

Lindy Novak

Napa Valley wine community ambassador and second-generation winemaker

In 1992, Lindy Novak joined her sister, Beth, as part of the second generation dedicated to guiding Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery. In the more than 25 years since, Lindy has brought her own unique touch to her role as national director of marketing, by building loyal and lasting relationships with Spottswoode’s distributor, restaurant and retail partners. Known for her warmth, humor and thoughtfulness, Lindy helps oversee Spottswoode’s sales program in 47 states, and is an eloquent ambassador for Spottswoode and the Novak family at tastings, dinners

and other key trade and consumer events throughout the country.

The eldest of the five Novak children, Lindy was 15 when she moved to Napa Valley with her family. A part of the emerging Napa Valley wine community, Lindy’s friends included the children of the Shafers and Chappellets, and she occasionally babysat the Duckhorn children. After earning a degree in geography from UC Berkeley, Lindy worked extensively in the clothing industry representing several high-end clothing lines, including Christian Dior, Henry Grethel, John Henry and Gottex swimwear.

In 1992, Lindy began working at Spottswoode part time. She quickly discovered that she enjoyed working with her sister, Beth, and her late mother, Mary, and contributing to the development of Spottswoode. Lindy also found that her


honest, engaged approach to sales was the perfect fit for their family-run winery. After a number of years building distributor and retail relationships throughout California, Lindy took on the role of national marketing director. “I try to bring the same values to our relationships that we bring to our wines,” says Lindy. “They should be authentic, thoughtful and enduring.”

Spottswoode Estate VineyardSpottswoode is a family-owned historic vineyard and winery renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1882 by George Schonewald, the estate is distinguished by the pre-prohibition Victorian home depicted on the wine label. Spottswoode was christened by Mrs. Albert Spotts in 1910 and it was acquired by Mary and Jack Novak in 1972. Mary released Spottswoode’s first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1982, exactly one hundred years after the estate’s founding.

Situated on the western edge of St. Helena at the foot of the Mayacamas mountains, the Spottswoode terroir is ideal for growing fine wine grapes. They have organically farmed their grapes since 1985 and the vineyard was certified organic in 1992. The Novak Family is committed to producing wines with integrity that faithfully reflect their grape origins, and Spottswoode wines are especially known for their refined elegance, balance, and classic structure.


Guest of Honor

Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi

Central Coast winemaker producing award-winning wines with minimal intervention

Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi was born in Seoul, Korea in 1970. At the age of 13, she fell in love with food, watching food shows on PBS such as the Frugal Gourmet, Galloping Gourmet and of course Julia Child. At a young age she was mimicking gourmet recipes long before the ingredients were readily available.

While attending USC Jenne Lee started working in restaurants; her first job answering phones at Trump’s restaurant, beginning her 20 years in restaurants. She later moved to Watergrill Restaurant in downtown Los

Angeles, and then to her dream, she started working for Wolfgang Puck which spanned 15 years, from 1993 to 2008. Jenne Lee was the maître’D at Spago Beverly Hills, which won the James Beard award in hospitality in 2005.

In 1999 Michael and Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi formed the Bonaccorsi Wine Company and set out to produce wine of their own with the love of Burgundy and the Rhône. Since their first vintage in 1999, they continued to strive for improvements not only in winemaking techniques but improve the quality of the best vineyards in the central coast. “Our goal at the beginning was to move from Santa Barbara to the Russian River Valley, but Michael realized that we could produce wine just as good, if not better in the central coast, especially in the new Santa Rita Hills appellation... All this untapped potential.” J.L. Bonaccorsi


In January 2004, Michael Bonaccorsi suddenly passed away. He left behind a legacy of winemaking, his first wines becoming some of the highest rated Syrah in Wine Spectator, and the Pinots the highest rated in 2005. Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi continues to make the wines, wines that strive for complexity and concentration, the delicacy.

In 2007, Bonaccorsi was among the top 30 Pinot producers by Wine Spectator, has served their wines at the White House and continues to source the best vineyards in the Central Coast the ever changing landscape.


Auctioneer

Fritz Hatton

Fritz Hatton and his immediate family own Arietta, one of Napa’s top producers of Bordeaux-style blended wines. He is also the nation’s most experienced wine auctioneer, having begun his career in Christie’s Wine Department in 1980. After a twelve year management career for Christie’s in North America and the Far East, Fritz took a musical sabbatical on the West Coast in the early 1990s, and conducted his first auction for the Napa Valley Vintners in 1992. Out of his musical and wine country experiences with his winemaker friend John Kongsgaard emerged a wine brand with a musically inspired name: Arietta. In 1995 Fritz returned to Christie’s as Director of Christie’s U.S. Wine Auction Department, and remained until he returned to California in 1998 to launch Arietta with his wife Caren. He remained with Christie’s as Consultant and Principal Wine Auctioneer, before joining Zachys Wine Auctions in 2002. He continues to conduct all commercial wine auctions for Zachys, as well as numerous charity wine auctions nationwide, in addition to overseeing the production and sales of Arietta.

Fritz and Caren Hatton reside in Napa, California with their two daughters, Libby and Hattie. A native of Michigan, Fritz is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and a summa cum laude graduate of Yale with a degree in English Literature. He returned to Yale as one of the first students to enroll in the new Yale School of Organization and Management, from which he received an M.B.A. in 1979. Apart from family and wine, his major interest is classical music, and he is just as happy playing the piano as he is encouraging bidders to turn cash into collectible wine.

2018 Norman M. Lipman Award Recipient for Creative Generosity

Pam & Steve Taylor

Each year the Norman M. Lipman Award is presented in recognition of individuals who have embraced the humanitarian qualities of wisdom, courage, optimism, commitment and integrity in their personal and professional lives.

This year’s recipients are Pam and Steve Taylor, two of the most generous supporters of the Nashville Wine Auction.

After Pam joined the Nashville Wine Auction Board of Directors in 2010, she and Steve chaired l’Eté du Vin in 2011. She was chairman of the board in 2013 and co-chaired l’Eté du Vin again in 2016. Their strong leadership and passion for wine led them to begin creating extraordinary wine experiences to unite our community and fund the fight against cancer. They have donated more than 67 auction lots and created 37 different wine dinners and tastings (just in the past 5 years). Some of our favorite Taylor tastings include the legendary Vintage 2000: A Monumental Tasting of Bordeaux, Mastering Masseto, and most recently, The Taylor Open…Cellar.

Pam and Steve are a force to be reckoned with. Pam, a two time Best of the Bar award winner, is a champion in the legal community and dedicated to her family law practice.

During the Reception, 40 glasses of Champagne will be sold in Bottega del Vino flutes valued at $50 per stem. One of the glasses of Champagne comes with the diamond and gold bracelet! Plan to buy two glasses and somebody’s going home very happy. Everybody wins as we enjoy the finer things in life and unite in the fight against cancer.

As for the prize, this lady’s 14K gold hinged bangle bracelet measures 60mm across by 6mm wide by 2.9mm thick with a push button clasp and a safety. 37 gorgeous full cut diamonds are square bezel set along the top with milgrain accents. The diamonds are G Color, VS2 Clarity and have a total manufacturer stated weight of 0.80 carat. This majestic bracelet is stamped 14k and weighs 9.9 grams complete. Valued at $5,200, this exceptional piece will shine like a ray of sun and be the envy of every diamond lover.

After selecting a glass with your lucky number, enjoy the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2006. Produced only in exceptional vintage years and intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style, this wine offers maturity and finesse. The nose initially presents a fresh, refined tangerine-like fruitiness. It then develops more mature notes of ripe fruit, raisin pastries and candied fruit. On the palate, the attack is both smooth and very lively. The mid-palate is supple, full-bodied and rich, with flavors of grapefruit. The finish is still very long and refined with a hint of spice, reminiscent of liquorice sticks. Raise your glass and enjoy one of the most coveted glasses of Champagne in the world.

PAM & STEVE TAYLOR Let’s open the auction in style with this one of a kind Champagne. Many consider Krug the king of Champagne. Thank you Pam and Steve! TB

Nothing says it’s a celebration like Champagne. Since the discovery of Méthod Champenoise, or the Champagne method, it’s grown to become the premier sparkling wine.

The elite growing region we all know and love has captured the allure of romantics and celebrities alike for centuries.

Champagne has the ability to express more complex flavors than many other sparkling wines of the world. The draw of Champagne is also attributed to the proven fact that not a single person on earth can be in a bad mood while drinking it. You deserve to be instantly transported into celebration/happy mode, even if it is just a Netflix + sushi kind of Tuesday.

While there are millions of Champagne lovers around the world, everyone can agree that Krug sets the standard for taste and luxury. This lot, donated by your 2018 Norman M. Lipman Award winners Pam and Steve Taylor, is truly the best way to kick off our 2018 l’Eté du Vin.

Cheers to Krug and cheers to a beautiful evening!

ROBERT S. LIPMAN

LIPMAN BROTHERS Thank you Robert for these Classic California Cabs from great vintages. TB

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: everything tastes better in magnum! This lot of six California Cabs from Robert S. Lipman is your ticket to Magnum Paradise, a place we’d frankly all like to visit. Some of the great California Cabernet producers are on the ticket: Caymus Vineyards, Château Montelena, CADE Estate, Kathryn Hall, Groth, and Hewitt. All unique in their own right, they produce Cabernet Sauvignons that collectors scramble to procure. Everyone knows that top-notch producers put their best juice in magnums (because of the aging capabilities, among other reasons), so there is no reason not to take this lot home tonight. • CADE Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 (1.5L)

» The 2014 CADE Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain is soft, supple, open-knit and a real beauty. The color is a healthy, deep purple and the wine full-bodied, rich with mulberry, black cherry, dark chocolate, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, graphite and spice – insanely approachable now given it’s silky personality but capable of evolving for up to 15 – 20 years, if you’re patient enough.

• Caymus Vineyards Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 (1.5L)

» We set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet to produce Special Selection – the only wine in the world honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year.” Pushing the limits of richness and concentration, this Cabernet is enjoyable upon release or improves with aging a decade or more.

LOT 102 YOUR TICKET TO MAGNUM PARADISE WITH CA CABS

• Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 (1.5L)

46 | Live Auction

• Château Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (1.5L)

» The weather in 2015 was highly conducive to producing ripe, concentrated wines. Warm, dry conditions catalyzed an early start to the growing season, while a temperate spring coupled with the effects of the multi-year drought limited our yields in the vineyard. On the nose, fresh raspberries tee off a parade of red fruit punctuated by rich strawberry jam, and bolstered by vanilla, black pepper, and violets. The palate has a latent weight and density along with fine-grained tannins that have just begun to slowly integrate with the rich, dark fruit of the vintage. The texture and mouthfeel of the wine build on the transition to the finish, which strikes a fine balance between the subtle acidity lingering just below the surface and the concentration of the fruit and tannins.

• Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 (1.5L)

» “Perfect, classic, abundant” describe the 2012 vintage. With very few concerns, winegrowers and winemakers were able to sit back and allow Mother Nature to strut her stuff – and strut she did. The vintage was, literally, a mirror image of the classic 2005 vintage – climate–wise, yield-wise and quality-wise. Great aroma development, phenomenal extraction and unctuous flavors were the result of patience and creativity. It is one for the ages!

• Hall Wines ‘Kathryn Hall’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 (1.5L)

» The exalted Sacrashe vineyard takes center stage, and is the basis of this blend. It contributes the mouth-coating richness and complexity, offering deep, dark earthy cassis flavors and powerfully dense tannins. From there, we search out complementary vineyards, usually from the most regarded mountain appellation, to create balance, symmetry and finesse in the wine. Lastly, we introduce vineyards with profound depth and decadence to heighten the voluptuousness and opulence that have become a hallmark character of our flagship wine.

• Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 (1.5L)

» The relaxed, high-quality 2012 harvest was a winemaker’s dream. The ideal growing season—well-timed rains, no frost during budbreak, and perfect weather for bloom, berry-set and ripening—was textbook Napa Valley. Long stretches of sunny days coupled with foggy nights gave our 2012 wines exceptionally rich, expressive flavors and impeccable balance. Reflecting the fabulous 2012 vintage, Hewitt Cabernet Sauvignon offers abundant, complex dark-fruit expression; ripe tannins and impeccable balance. Its yin-yang qualities of being powerful—yet refined, soft and approachable—speak to the terroir of Hewitt Vineyard and gentle winemaking.

BILL & EDIE MITCHELL

DAVID & JANICE MORGAN The best of the Super 2nd’s. Awesome juice. TB

Château Pichon Lalande, a second growth that we lovingly refer to as a “nearly first” growth, is one of those Bordeaux gems that never seems to vary when it comes to consistency and personality. In a Pauillac world where “strength” and “austerity” serve as key identifiers, Pichon Lalande somehow manages to produce profound femininity and sensuous flavors with unparalleled longevity.

Pichon Lalande was one of the undisputed stars of the 1983 vintage, and while most bottles are beginning to pass their prime, we’ve got a double magnum from the cellar on the block tonight. Also included is a vertical case 2003-2006. Lala lovers are probably on the edge of their seats right now, waiting to spring into bidding action.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1983 (3L)

» A stunning wine, Pichon-Lalande’s 1983 has been gorgeous to drink for a number of years. It is one of the finest 1983s, especially for a northern Médoc. The color remains a dark ruby/purple, with slight lightening at the edge. The knock-out nose of roasted herbs, sweet, jammy black currants, and pain grille is followed by a full-bodied, gorgeously concentrated and well-proportioned wine with low acidity, plenty of glycerin, and a savory, highly extracted, fleshy mouthfeel. This has always been one of the stars of the vintage... (RP 94)

GLENN & ANN EADEN Ann and Glenn Eaden contribute so much to our organization. Thank you for your board and committee leadership, support, sponsorship, and oh yes, wine donations!

The story of Beringer’s Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon took some mighty forces to make it happen. In 1971, in a push toward building the quality of its wines, Beringer hired veteran winemaker Myron Nightingale. Myron modernized the winemaking facility, bringing in temperature-controlled steel tanks and replacing the winery’s old barrels with new French oak. With long-range vision, he also insisted on upgrading and expanding the vineyards because of his belief that great wines begin on the vines. Edward Sbragia joined Beringer as Myron’s assistant in 1976, and when Beringer first acquired Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the Lemmon Ranch (later called Chabot Vineyard) in 1977, Myron and Ed knew they had the makings of a distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon in a big, rich style. They had the foresight to keep those lots separate from grapes in other vineyards. After two years in French oak barrels, the wine was still dark, chewy and tannic. Even bottle aging didn’t seem to soften its intensity. With some trepidation, the winemaking team entered the wine in competition in the 1981 Orange County Fair... And won a gold medal as the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the show. The limited amount of that 1977 vintage was released as Beringer’s first Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

LOT 104 THE HISTORY OF BERINGER PRIVATE RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

This wine lot includes: • Beringer Private Reserve

Cabernet Sauvignon 1980 (9L)

49 | Live Auction

The 1978 Private Reserve was released in the same year, to even greater critical acclaim. Each vintage has produced different fruits, different flavors and a different challenge to the team as they make their critical decisions about viticulture, fruit maturity, oak selection and assemblage. After over three decades producing these reserve wines, Beringer’s goal has remained unchanged throughout the succession of winemakers, from Ed Sbragia to Laurie Hook, and now Mark Beringer: to make the best Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley can produce. This 9L (yep, that’s right, twelve bottles in one) of the iconic 1980 vintage is a celebration of what these early visionaries saw for their cherished wine. Take home this big boy, an early indication of the imminent prestige of Beringer’s Private Reserve Cabernet. Cheers! Donated by Glenn & Ann Eaden

It is all about honoring the five unique wines that make up BOND: Melbury, Quella, St Eden, Vecina and Pluribus.

With the purpose of creating wines that best express the individual character from the land.

BOND Director, Scott Gould, invites eight couples to experience the true individual characters of BOND’s five wines at a fantastic dinner on April 13, 2019.

Brought to you by Nashville Wine Auction’s preferred travel advisor, David Bragg Travel, you can work with David to secure flights or make arrangements to extend this trip to France. Check out the exciting itinerary below!

Day 1Your dream vacation starts when you arrive in Paris. Your English-speaking driver will transport you to your hotel in Reims. Your accommodations in Champagne will be Domaine Les Crayères, a 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel where pure classical French style rooms await.

On your first night in Reims, enjoy dinner in the hotel at Chef Philippe Mille’s gourmet restaurant. The wine list features more than 600 Champagne labels–an ideal place to start discovering the treasures of Champagne!

Day 2Start your day with a guided tour of Reims and the 13th century Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral. Home to more than 2,300 statues, including the famous Smiling Angel, you will be captivated by the unique stained glass and gothic architecture.

For lunch, travel to visit Vitalie Taittinger, one of tonight’s Guests of Honor, at Champagne Taittinger! The Taittinger cellars were established in the Abbey of Saint-Nicaise, built in the 13th century in Gallo-Roman chalk pits dating from the fourth century. Experience the rich history with a VIP tour, tasting and lunch hosted by a either Vitalie or Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger.

After lunch, you’ll travel to Ruinart for a private tour and tasting. Nicolas Ruinart founded the House of Ruinart on September 1, 1729. The first delivery of “wine with bubbles” went out in January 1730. At first the sparkling wine was a business gift for cloth purchasers, as Ruinart’s brother was a cloth merchant, but six years later Maison Ruinart terminated its cloth selling activities due to success in the Champagne business. Since then, the Maison has kept the standards of excellence of its founders.

Day 3Today you visit two Champagne legends. The first stop is the iconic Veuve Cliquot, named after Philippe Clicquot-Muiron’s widow (veuve), Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. She was the first woman to take over a Champagne house and she also revolutionized the Champagne making process. Hence the title, “La Grande Dame de la Champagne.”

After lunch (on your own) visit the only Champagne house that has been creating only Prestige Champagne every year since its founding in 1843, Krug Champagne. Having understood that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, Joseph Krug’s dream was to be able to offer the very best Champagne he could create every single year, regardless of the harvest and annual variations in climate. Find out if he was successful at the private tour and tasting.

Day 4Travel to the outskirts of Epernay to a small village named Hautvillers. Home of legendary Dom Pérignon this morning you meet a Dom Pérignon Brand Ambassador and attend an exclusive tasting in the private salons of the house all while taking in gorgeous views of the Marne Valley.

JOHN & JENNIFER STEELE These are great Cab’s from some of the best. TB

Is there a more widely recognized grape than Cabernet Sauvignon? Are there any other grapes that are so easily identifiable by a nickname? More importantly, is there a more widely respected grape across the world? The answer is seemingly, no way to all of the above. Planted in almost every climate, there are very few producers who can take the grape to its fullest potential. Cabernet Sauvignon has found one of its most successful homes in California, and there are some producers in California who truly get this magnanimous grape. It’s no wonder “Cali Cab” has such notoriety within the wine world.

Another group who truly gets this grape? The Steeles. They’ve got quite the palate and collection when it comes to the king of the reds, and they’re kind enough to share a few favorites with us tonight. This “case” of 15 California Cabernets offers you the chance to take home some truly remarkable renditions of the aforementioned grape.

PATRICK MCMULLAN A special thank you to Pat McMullan for your continued support.

What is the best wine from a wine region?

Pose that question and you’ll get debates, discussions, presentations, and rap battles in response. There is only one region, however, that has one single undisputed victor. Any guesses?

That would be Sauternes where Château d’Yquem has the trophy. Pretty much everyone in the world would agree. Situated, appropriately, atop a hill, looking down over the rest of Sauternes, Yquem is the dessert wine that steals hearts and breaks records.

This lot includes a full case of splits from the 99-point rated 1990 vintage.

» An extraordinary effort, Yquem’s 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. The wine’s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated. The wine is massive on the palate, with layers of intensely ripe botrytis-tinged, exceptionally sweet fruit. Surprisingly well-integrated acidity, and a seamless, full-bodied power and richness have created a wine of remarkable harmony and purity. Certainly it is one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-100 years of potential longevity. An awesome Yquem! Anticipated maturity: 2003-2050+. (RP 99)

Drinking well now... Or a century from now! No debating necessary, only battles in the bidding.

IRV & KARIN LINGO

GIOVANNI RISTORANTE This dinner from Irv and Giovanni is always one of the best dinners in the auction. TB

Irv and Karin Lingo throw one heck of an Italian festa (that’s Italian for party). And with each offering, they take it up a notch. On Saturday May 18, 2019, eight amici (that’s Italian for friends) will gather at Giovanni’s for an evening celebrating the best of Italian vino e cibo (that’s Italian for wine and food, obviously)!

After the obligatory Krug palate opener, you’ll jump into an Antinori’s flagship white wine, Cervaro della Sala 2015. Then, you’ll spring into a 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella from Dal Forno for the pasta course. Up next are the undisputed stars of the Super Tuscan world, Ornellaia and Masseto (2004 and 2000 respectively). You’ll finish with the King and Queen of Piemonte, a 1996 Barbaresco Asili from Giacosa and a 1998 Barolo Monfortino from Giacomo Conterno. Oh, and we can’t have dessert without a Sauternes!

Think hard about who you’ll invite to this dinner festa... bring your amici for the best of Italian vino e cibo. Cincin!

PAM & STEVE TAYLOR Rare Chardonnay from the Taylor’s.

Mark Aubert’s Sonoma Coast vineyard-designate Chardonnays have risen to cult status at a dizzying speed. Production is a limited 4,000 cases, and the wines are only available via the winery’s mailing list. This lot includes bottles from two of the four vineyards: Ritchie and Lauren. Let’s learn more about these two, shall we?

Ritchie:It all started here in the year 2000. Ritchie Vineyard was Aubert’s first foray into single vineyard Chardonnays. Today they produce Chardonnay from the oldest blocks at Ritchie, planted nearly a half century ago. Soils at Ritchie are a myriad of Goldridge based with overlying volcanic ash and various other soils. The Ritchie vines are nearly a half century old, and as a result the wine is consistently powerful and decadent in style. The rare volcanic soils help retain a level of natural acidity which complements its subtle richness.

Lauren:Aubert’s first production of Lauren Estate wine was in 2003, and revealed their official definition of “perfection.” Comprised of four distinct Chardonnay clones, this wine is a hypothetical blend of Sonoma Coast with White Burgundy. Fabulously concentrated and layered with density and extract, the aromatics and mouth feel are profound.

DOMAINE CLARENCE DILLON Buy this if you can. TB

Mr. Clarence Dillon, an eminent American financier, visited Bordeaux in 1934. He fell under the spell of Château Haut-Brion and recognized the unique opportunity of acquiring such a legendary estate. The only property from outside the Médoc to be included in the 1855 Classification, Haut-Brion’s viticultural history can be traced back further than its Médoc First Growth counterparts. Samuel Pepys even mentions it in his diaries on April 10, 1663, when he was dining at the Royal Oak Tavern in Lombard Street, London: “...and here drank a sort of French wine called Ho Bryan that hath a good and most particular taste I never met with.” Raise your hand if you love Ho Bryan as much as we do!

Competition for “Greatest Graves” is steep, especially with Haut-Brion’s sister Château La Mission Haut-Brion just across the road. Though not technically a First Growth, LMHB can sometimes outrank its older sister in many vintages. La Mission Haut-Brion was acquired by Clarence Dillon in 1983.

In 2012, Château Quintus came into the Clarence Dillon family! An exceptional terroir that has been recognized as such for centuries, this wine takes its natural place alongside the red and white wines of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, thereby becoming another star in this illustrious family.

The seven magnum in this lot represent the Clarence Dillon portfolio in the best possible way. Direct from the estates, these magnum will definitely be a hot commodity. Bid high!

PAM & STEVE TAYLOR This great Burdundy is ready to drink. TB

Ah, Red Burgundy. Just the mention of your name elicits fond memories and profound revelations. With its centuries of winemaking tradition and terroir-focused precision, Burgundy, like no other wine region, makes hearts swoon and paddles raise. How you affect us so, you sweet, sweet region.

This mixed case offers three bottles each of Grand Cru Red Burg and one 1er Cru from deliciously exquisite Crus and producers, that are ripe for drinking.

Four of our favorite vineyards are on the block here. Gevrey Chambertin Clos St. Jacques, offering the resplendent nose of raspberry, cherry, rose petal, minerals and smoke, plus a whiff of fresh leather. Charmes Chambertin, powerful, virile, complex and intense with notes of strawberry, blackcurrant, and gooseberry as well as fruit pits, liquorice, and spices. Mazis-Chambertin, fine-boned, yet with a rugged intensity, subtle and waiting to blossom. Échezeaux, redolent of animal, spice notes, underbrush, and prune, evolving with age towards musk, leather, fur and mushroom.

Tantalizing, isn’t it? Wake up from your Burgundy daydream and raise that paddle.

ARIETTA

CARON & FRITZ HATTON These are rare big bottles from Fritz. TB

Arietta: a name for wines born of a passion for music. The name Arietta, meaning short aria or art song, expresses the winery’s belief that all great wines must sing. Both wine and song should “take flight,” in the course of which the qualities of balance, vibrancy, depth, overtones, and complexity resonate and give us a sense of exaltation.An ultra-premium Napa winery specializing in limited production Bordeaux-style blends, Arietta is no stranger to the Nashville Wine Auction scene. It is owned by wine specialist and Nashville’s favorite auctioneer, Fritz Hatton, and his wife Caren.

Arietta is delighted to honor the Chair of l’Eté du Vin 2018, Tom Black, and to support key organizations in Nashville in the fight against cancer, by offering engraved imperials of two of the owner’s favorite Arietta wines of the last ten years, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2011 On the White Keys.

That’s obviously not all, folks. The winner of this lot will get to celebrate with an insider’s visit for up to eight at the Hatton residence in Saint Helena for “education,” an audience with three Bernese Mountain dogs, and the possibility of pianistic “prestidigitation” by the host. The first person to sing Carmen’s Habanera gets the lot! Just kidding... You simply need to bid the highest. Donated by Arietta, Caron & Fritz Hatton

LOT 123 TWO OF ARIETTA’S CHOICEST IMPERIALS AND AN INSIDER VISIT

LOT 125 TWELVE REASONS TO TOAST WITH DOM PÉRIGNON


• Dom Pérignon Brut 1990 (12 bottles)

KEITH & PAM BROWNING Rob Parker said these are the greatest Champagne he’s tasted. TB

Dom Pérignon. There are few experiences better than popping open a bottle of this benchmark Champagne. Maybe having your first child, but it’s a close second.

DP is named for a 17th-century monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, who was a cellar master for the Abbey of Hautvillers. He used the vineyards to return the estate to prosperity. With well thought-out and thorough blending of grapes, white wines from black grape varieties and gentle and divided pressing, Dom Pierre Pérignon laid the essential foundations for the “Champenoise” method. Right up to his death in 1715, this contemporary of Louis XIV perfected the art of winemaking in Champagne.

Now, this lot offers a full CASE of 1990 Dom Pérignon, a knockout vintage to say the least.

Let’s raise a glass (and paddle) to our favorite monk!

Dom Pérignon Brut 1990 (12 bottles) » Medium lemon-straw colour. Intensely

fragrant nose with aromas of jasmine, cinnamon buttered toast, stewed apples and preserved ginger. Concentrated honey-nut, warm apple tart and spice flavours fill the mouth giving ample flesh to the firm, fine structure. The bubbles are still remarkably frisky and, in harmony with the crisp backbone of acid, make for a relatively youthful, elegant and exquisitely balanced wine. Very long finish. (3/2009) (98 LPB)

BILL & SHARON PIPER

CHEF MATT BOLUS Great chef, great hosts, great wine -- don’t miss out! TB

We’re thrilled to celebrate Women in Wine this year, and some of our favorite women in wine wanted to get in on the action!

Two powerhouses of the wine world are coming to Nashville on March 22, 2019 for one fun evening! Alessia Antinori, 26th generation winemaking legend of Marchesi Antinori, and Jamie Pollack, Global Managing Director of Zachys Wine Auctions, want you to join them for dinner accompanied by a Solaia vertical!

Solaia is one of the leading wines of the famous Tuscan winery and the great passion of the Antinori family. Coming from a vineyard with a southwestern exposure situated at the Tignanello estate, Solaia is produced exclusively in exceptional vintages and it represents a true symbol of the most prestigious Italian oenology. Born in 1978 through the family’s passion, care, attention and research, the initial blend was 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, which was also repeated for the 1979 vintage. In the following vintages, Antinori introduced 20% Sangiovese grapes and made some corrections, thanks to the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, until reaching the current composition.

Some of the vintages included are 1997, 1998, 2005, 2009 and the 100-point 2015!

NASHVILLE BORDEAUX COLLECTORS l’Eté du Vin wouldn’t be l’Eté du Vin without this group of Bordeaux collectors. Thank you for your generosity and loyalty for so many years.

Rarely has a vintage received such high praise… And even more rarely has it lived up to the hype. There is no doubt that the 2009 vintage is delicious. From the moment the barrel tastings took place in spring 2010, it has been praised as fruity and delectable. The hallmark of this spectacular vintage, which many experts have gone on record as describing as the greatest of all time, is the unique combination of fine, ripe tannins and a sweet, creamy body, offset by unprecedented lively acidity. It’s really the acidity that makes the wines of this vintage so different from any recent great year. If anything, the best wines of 2009 have an almost Burgundian quality to them, as difficult as that may be for the Bordelais to agree with! While it’s not too difficult to get powerful, balanced wines from Cabernet and Merlot in good vintages, it is a much rarer thing to unite the brute force of those varietals with the dainty, almost ethereal aromatics and gentle tannic architecture they can also achieve. And the best Bordeaux of 2009 are indeed wines of unparalleled power, charm, and finesse. This lot includes TWENTY ONE bottles from this famed vintage. We dare you to resist this lot!

PAM & STEVE TAYLOR Masseto is the greatest Merlot in Italy -- the Petrus of Italy. TB

After selling a massively successful Masseto tasting last year, we couldn’t resist offering more of the delectable Merlot! This lot would be worth a bid if there was just one bottle of Masseto, but we are fortunate enough to offer ten vintages, including the rare 1988, from the cellar of Pam and Steve Taylor.

Last January, lucky “Mastering Masseto” attendees experienced a once in a lifetime tasting in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Rotunda with esteemed winemaker, Axel Heinz and Director North America, Alessandro Lunardi. Even Antonio Galloni and Martina McBride were in attendance! While buying this lot won’t get Axel, Alessandro, Antonio, and Martina into your cellar, it will deliver the wines, which are superstars in their own right!

Masseto is a rare, single vineyard wine made entirely from Merlot grapes grown on the vineyard bearing the same name. Located in the acclaimed Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Masseto was first released in 1986, simply called “Merlot” at that time. The name of Masseto then appeared on the label with the 1987 vintage. Masseto is a wine of great and complex personality where its remarkable structure always combines with beautiful elegance. It quickly gained a reputation as one of the world’s most sought after and extremely allocated wines.

Whether or not you “Mastered” Masseto in January, now is the time to raise your paddle for more Masseto!

ELIZA KRAFT OLANDER & BRIAN MCHENRY Thank you to these special friends of l’Eté du Vin -- Eliza and Brian.

The chance of getting your hands on the liquid gold that is Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve is so minuscule in today’s market that you’d have a better shot at winning a Powerball. Heck, some states have even resorted to creating their own “Pappy Lottery” just to decide who gets to buy a bottle during the once-yearly release.

Why so hard to come by you ask? Well, first and foremost, the historic distillery only releases around 7,000 cases a year (approximately 84,000 bottles). Their motto is to sell “at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always fine bourbon.” The real Pappy craze began in 1996 when the Beverage Testing Institute rated the 20-year Pappy Van Winkle the highest rating for a whiskey ever given by the institute: a 99 out of 100. And it’s only escalated since then. This lot is the bourbon collector’s equivalent of winning the Powerball. Not only do you get some Old Rip 10 year and the Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot B 12 year, you also go home with a whopping Pappy Reserve 15, 20 and 23 year.

JOHN & BETH HUFF Can you say Burgundy’s best vintage? TB

What’s better than six bottles of red Burgundy? Six bottles of GRAND CRU red Burgundy.

The pinnacle of Pinot Noir, the big daddies of Burgundy, there’s something so iconic about the status and prestige of Grand Cru Burgundy. We can thank the Cistercians for putting in the work to isolate such impressive plots.

This case of six Grand Cru Burgs from some of the greatest producers is for expert-level Pinotfiles (which, granted, is the vast majority of the l’Eté du Vin attendees). But you get the point. Musigny, Bonnes Mares, Richebourg, Échezeaux, and Clos Vougeot are all represented here, and all from the iconic 1990 vintage.

Widely considered a standout between 1978 and 1999, the heat of the vintage produced powerful, voluptuous wines that have proven to be monumental in stature. Nearly 30 years old (wow!), these beauties get five out of five stars in our book. Take home this selection of 1990 Grand Cru Burgundy from Vogue, Jadot, AF Gros, Giroud, and Leroy. You’ll thank us later.

You have an opportunity to win an elegant diamond and gold bracelet from Lindell Jewelers in Brentwood with the purchase of a glass of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2006 for $200.

As for the prize, this lady’s 14K gold hinged bangle bracelet measures 60mm across by 6mm wide by 2.9mm thick with a push button clasp and a safety. 37 gorgeous full cut diamonds are square bezel set along the top with milgrain accents. The diamonds are G Color, VS2 Clarity and have a total manufacturer stated weight of 0.80 carat. This majestic bracelet is stamped 14k and weighs 9.9 grams complete. Valued at $5,200, this exceptional piece will shine like a ray of sun and be the envy of every diamond lover.

After selecting a glass with your lucky number, enjoy the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2006. Produced only in exceptional vintage years and intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style, this wine offers maturity and finesse. The nose initially presents a fresh, refined tangerine-like fruitiness. It then develops more mature notes of ripe fruit, raisin pastries and candied fruit. On the palate, the attack is both smooth and very lively. The mid-palate is supple, full-bodied and rich, with flavors of grapefruit.

PRIMA WINE CELLAR

BILL & EDIE MITCHELL We are overwhelmed by the generosity of Jim and Kimberly Lewis. Thanks a million for all the Pinot. And to our friends, Bill and Edie Mitchell we say Cheers!

Pinot Noir is one of the earliest grapes to bud, but it was quite the late bloomer in California wine country. Since California’s commercial wine industry was founded in the 1850s, the sensitive and delicate Burgundian grape played a minor role. At that time, most of the wine labeled “California Burgundy” was made from Zinfandel and other hearty grapes, and contained no Pinot Noir at all. Pinot had acquired a notorious reputation as a difficult grape and a capricious wine. “God made Cabernet Sauvignon,” the great enologist André Tchelistcheff allegedly pronounced, “whereas the devil made Pinot Noir.”

Though some legendary examples popped up here and there throughout that time frame, it wasn’t until long after the Prohibition that experimentally-minded growers and pioneering winemakers thought: hey, maybe Pinot has a home in Sonoma?

And boy, are we grateful for those risk takers. Three of the most renowned Sonoma Pinot producers: Kistler, Williams Selyem, and Aubert, are on full display with this lot. Each represents a well-crafted and carefully considered representation of this highly difficult yet oh-so-worth it grape. If you’re any bit of a Pinot person, you’ll want to pay close attention to this one.

Day 3: Casablanca Valley This morning, your guide will take you to the renowned Casablanca Valley. The valley is world-famous for its technology and commitment to terroir, producing some of Chile’s best white wines and cool-climate reds. Chardonnay continues to reign, but Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are on the rise in this region.

Your first appointment is a tour and tasting at Catrala Vineyards. This boutique winery is known for Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir. This unique tasting is combined with a hike through their forest, and while by no means guaranteed, sightings of the shy Chilean wildcat, rabbits, and foxes are not uncommon.

TOM BLACK It’s been an amazing year working with you Tom. Thank you for your dedication to l’Eté du Vin, and for keeping us well stocked with Black by Black.

“Black by Black” was inspired by arguably the top wine collector in the world, Tom Black, and the L.A. Times Winemaker of the Year, Jim Clendenen from Au Bon Climat Winery. The winemaker selected only “the finest grapes” from a 300 acre ranch in Santa Barbara County to create a special Meritage wine that has won several blind tastings and been scored a perfect 100 points. This wine is a combination of 40% California Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot to produce a bold and balanced red wine. You can only get this wine at charity auctions and with only 25 cases produced, this is an extremely exclusive lot. Large format bottles can be cellared for another 10 years, but the wine is drinking great now!

The label is an original piece of art by Master Sumi-e artist Drue Kataoka. The back label is a poem (in Japanese) written by Drue about the friendship between Jim and Tom. The label has seven different shades of black ink. Once a stroke is painted it cannot be changed or erased, making the painting technically demanding while requiring great skill, concentration and years of training.

Available to you is a double magnum of Black by Black (2006, 2007, or 2008) for $500. Raise your paddle and claim your double magnum!

VINTNERS FROM THE CENTRAL COAST You’ll need truck to take it all home. TB

Selling lots in memory of truly special people lost to cancer is always hard, but this lot’s honoree would only have accepted a celebratory reflection of his amazing life… That’s just how Archie McLaren lived! A charismatic, tireless, and vibrant wine lover, Archie passed away from complications due to bone cancer in February. However his time on earth and within the wine world is something truly remarkable. Born in Atlanta, Ga., in 1942 and raised in Memphis, McLaren attended Vanderbilt University on a tennis scholarship. In addition to his numerous accolades, we are probably most moved by the way he championed the Central Coast as a wine region. In 1984, San Luis Obispo public radio station KCBX asked McLaren to host a weekly program about wine called, The Wine Drinker’s Guide to Indulgence. The next year, McLaren and the station started the Central Coast Wine Classic as an annual fundraiser for KCBX. The event has grown to be one of the most successful charity wine auctions in America, raising money each year for regional nonprofits. The event played a key role in shaping the history and wine industries of Santa Barbara and Paso Robles: it brought people to the region when no one knew where Paso Robles was. A true ambassador of Central Coast wine, Archie will be remembered for his colorful wardrobe and signature beret, but also for being a pacesetter. He leaves behind a tremendous legacy, and the wine industry will surely miss him.

DAVID & PHYLLIS VANDEWATER I love Kistler. Thank you to the Vandewaters and Lewis’. TB

In the 1980s and 1990s, as Americans developed a ravenous thirst for Chardonnay, Kistler set a standard of quality with its powerful, oaky, voluptuous wines. Using grapes from small lots in prime vineyards in Sonoma and the Carneros, it was among a handful of California wineries that pioneered the use of Burgundian techniques, like fermenting in small oak barrels.

The winery’s reputation was largely fueled by Robert Parker, who was the only wine critic other than Steven Tanzer invited to review the wines annually. And boy, does Parker gush over them. Parker once said in the Wine Advocate, “If the Kistler Winery could be magically transported to the middle of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, it would quickly gain a reputation as glorious as any producer of Burgundy grand crus.” This lot of 36 bottles from seven different Chardonnay vineyards is a surefire example of Kistler’s complexity, elegance, and overall success when it comes to the noble Chardonnay grape. In deference to site and terroir, each of their ten Chardonnay bottlings are grown from the same heritage clone they have been raising for thirty years.

We’ve come a long way since 2007. For instance, Steve Jobs announced the very first iPhone in 2007, and now we have the 10th version of that phone that opens when it sees our face! Another highlight from that year that’s blossomed into something truly remarkable? Why, the 2007 vintage of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon of course!

2007 was considered nearly perfect for California Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine Spectator rated it 99 on its 100-point scale. Many producers considered the 2007 growing season ideal, largely free of extreme heat and other threats, allowing them to harvest the grapes at what they judged to be the ideal point of ripeness. And it just keeps getting better!

Those who know Napa Cabs understand the true beauty of this historic vintage. Two notable Napaholics, John and Jennifer Steele, are generous enough to share TWELVE of their favorite wines from that illustrious vintage and host a dinner for 22 in their beautiful home on Saturday, October 6, 2018.

They’re bringing in one of Nashville’s favorite chefs, Tony Galzin of Nicky’s Coal Fired, to prepare a fantastic feast worthy of such a vintage, and the wines come from some of the most notorious producers in the valley, like Schrader, Lokoya, Scarecrow, Cardinale... The list goes on and on.

JEFF ROBERTS Thank you Jeff for donating all these GREAT Italian wines. TB

When it comes to Italian reds, the Piedmontese really know what they’re doing. And when it comes to prestige, no region does it like Piedmont. Barolo and Barbaresco, the King and Queen of Piedmont, reign supreme, and this lot has six bottles of some of the finest from the region. A young Nebbiolo grape aspires to become the wines in this lot. It yearns to display such power, finesse, and prestige that each of these producers beckons of the noble grape.

These Barolos (and one Barbaresco) from four of the most notorious producers in Piedmont are just waiting for you to claim them. And in multiple formats? No wonder we see some of you already on the edge of your seat!

• Giacomo Conterno Francia Barolo DOCG 1999 (2 bottles)

» Consumers in search of the epitome of classic Barolo will be well rewarded in the 1999 Barolo Cascina Francia, a vintage which the family is very happy with. Medium garnet (color is never particularly deep here), its spicy-resinous nose, warm, penetrating, and alcoholic, promises much pleasure, a commitment which the palate respects in its ample texture, superior continuity and drive, lovely kirsch and licorice flavors, and unusually supple tannins. Substantial and enveloping, it will easily evolve well for twenty years. (WA 92) (10/2003)

121 | Live Auction

• Paolo Scavino Bric dël Fiasc Barolo DOCG 1996 (3L)

» Scavino’s 1996 Bric del Fiasc, tasted from magnum, is one of the truly great versions of this wine. It offers captivating notes of tar, licorice and menthol along with a tightly wound core of vibrant dark fruit on a structured, deeply expressive frame of notable length. Though starting to show some tertiary nuances, this Barolo will be even better in a few years. (AG 95) (10/2006)

• Giacomo Conterno Francia Barolo DOCG 2007 (1.5L)

» The 2007 Barolo Cascina Francia is an unusual version of this benchmark wine. In 2007 Conterno decided against bottling his Monfortino. Conterno believes Nebbiolo can handle rain and humidity (hence his decision to make Monfortino in rainy years such as 1987 and 2002), but not drought. The result is a Cascina Francia that is unusually dark, rich and powerful. The floral, herbal notes that are typical in young Cascina Francia have been replaced by deeper notes of tar, smoke and licorice to match the layers of intense dark fruit. The 2007 is powerful and imposing from start to finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2037. (AG 96) (10/2011)

• Elio Altare Vigneto Arborina Barolo DOCG 2007 (1.5L)

» The 2007 Barolo Arborina is another stunner. The intense aromatics are a dead give-way for what is to follow, which is to say a virtual explosion of flavors. The Arborina boasts fabulous balance, intensity and raciness in a style that brings to mind the wines of Henri Jayer. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2032. I have always found Altare’s 2007s superb from barrel. These are must-have bottles. (AG 96) (2/2011)

• Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Asili Riserva Barbaresco DOCG 2007 (1.5L)

» ...Sweet, perfumed and totally gorgeous in its round, sensual fruit. Silky, elegant tannins frame the long, harmonious finish. (RP 97)

“El español fino con todo bebe vino.” The refined Spaniard drinks wine with everything. You too can join the ranks of “refined Spaniard” with this 7-day trip for four through Northern Spain. With an equal balance of planned activities and free time to explore, this trip contains the highlights of the Basque Country combined with amazing wine and food experiences. Here’s what you can expect...

Day 1: Guggenheim & Tapas After arriving at the Bilbao airport you’ll jump right in and explore downtown Bilbao on a sightseeing tour! Take in the incredible Guggenheim Museum and visit then Plaza Nueva where you’ll enjoy tapas like a local. Afterwards your driver will deliver you to Rioja wine country where you will check into your home for the next three nights, Hospedería de los Parajes. Located in Medieval Laguardia (called the “cutest village in La Rioja”) this hotel offers everything you ever dreamed of including a spa, two restaurants, a winery, shopping and a network of historic caves.

Day 2: Historic Wine Cellars and BBQ in the Vines You day starts with a trip to medieval Ollauri where you’ll visit one of Rioja’s most beautiful underground, historic cellars, Conde de los Andes. In addition to a tasting of some impeccable wines you’ll visit the spectacular 250,000 bottle cellar which includes 100 year old wines. Bring your camera! Next is a private tour and tasting at Finca Valpiedra. Sip reds and whites while you check out the million dollar views in their tasting room overlooking the Ebro River.

124 | Live Auction

The oldest building in the town of Laguardia is your next stop. Over 500 years old, Casa Primicia has been recently restored to a wine making facility. You’ll take a look at the historic cellars before heading out to the vines for a relaxed BBQ lunch including lamb roast (and a whole lot more) over grape vines! The evening is yours to explore the cobblestone streets of Laguardia. There are great walks, darling wine bars, historic churches and towers, and delicious tapas bars.

Day 3: Wine Tours, Wine Tastings, Wine Lunch, Wine Museum Start the day off at Roda with a private winery tour, a tasting of fine wines and high end olive oils. Sample Roda, Cirsion and their excellent olive oil, Dauro. You’ll have time before lunch, to enjoy a walk around the beautiful “Barrio de Estacion,” (the street where Roda and Rioja Alta are located). Check out the historic cellars, many of which have wine bars. Why not have an aperitif at Muga for example? Or Lopez de Heredia?

If you love Rioja, then you’ve heard of “La Rioja Alta” and you are in for a treat. Having been in the business for 125 years, this family-run winery embodies both staunch traditionalist and modern techniques when it comes to winemaking. A tour, tasting and VIP private lunch in an exclusive space in the winery await you at La Rioja Alta. After lunch visit medieval Briones and the Dinastia Vivanco wine museum. The rest of your evening is for you to relax or explore.

Day 4: San Sebastian and Pintxos This morning starts off with a private tour and tasting at the super collector’s cult cellar of Remirez de Ganuza. Then it is off to the coast and San Sebastian, one of Spain’s most beautiful towns. You have a free afternoon to enjoy the beach, the old town, and great shops! In the evening you will embark on an utterly magical culinary tour of the finest pintxo bars. (Pintxo is a Basque term for tapas). Weaving through the endless labyrinth of streets in Parte Vieja, your guide’s energy for their native city is infectious as they open up a historical city, brimming with food and new ideas with an obsession for the pintxo.

With full tummies you’ll arrive at Maria Cristina, a 5-star hotel in the heart of San Sebastian. Fall in love with the rich history in this hotel, not to mention the breathtaking views of the coast.

Day 5: France & Akelare Today it is off for a leisurely day of sightseeing in France! Begin with a visit to quaint St Jean de Luz, in the French Basque Country, where you can walk on the beach or stroll around the port with its darling gourmet shops and nautical boutiques. Lunch is on your own (with our suggestions of course). Next you’ll visit Ainhoa, which is nestled in the French Pyrénées region and

boasts some of the most splendid alpine scenery in Europe. It is one of the French Basque coast’s most wonderful gems! You will then visit Espelette. This is a charming French Basque village known for its famous dried peppers, used by chefs all over the world.

After you return to San Sebastian you can freshen up for a spectacular dinner. Akelare is one of Spain’s finest restaurants, boasting three Michelin stars. Experience unforgettable food, top class service, and striking views of the Cantabrian Sea. You are in for a treat as Chef Pedro Subijana will prepare for you a surprise tasting menu with wine pairings.

Day 6: Cheese Tasting & Elkano Often chefs say never to put cheese and seafood in the same meal. However experiencing the two in the same day is no problem! Your day starts with a visit to Queseria Ondarre, where you’ll meet Eneko. He is a humble cheese farmer with great English and a lovely manner, not to mention amazing cheese! Enjoy a tasting of his Idiazábal cheeses accompanied with Riojan wine. Afterwards travel to the city of Getaria where you’ll have some free time to explore sights like the Balenciaga Fashion Museum, the colorful port, or the sinking church! An outstanding seafood lunch awaits you at the legendary seafood grill, Elkano. You cannot go wrong at this Michelin starred restaurant, but their specialty is fish, especially their signature plate: grilled turbot. This meal will be a major highlight of your trip!

Day 7: Departure Following a transfer back to the airport in Bilbao you’ll depart from Spain at your leisure with memories of your unforgettable experiences as a “refined Spaniard!”

LOT 155 PADDLES UP FOR CHÂTEAUNEUF- DU-PAPE


• 16 bottles of assorted Châteauneuf-du-Pape as listed in description

TIM & MARY SCHOETTLE I want this one. CDP’s greatest producers. TB

Let’s all take a second here to pour one out for the Popes. Without them, we wouldn’t have the delightful appellation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and for that, we are truly thankful.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape takes its name from the time when the Pope moved to Avignon in 1309. The move was due to issues between the King of France and the Papacy. Eight different Popes served in Avignon as the Papacy remained in Châteauneuf-du-Pape until 1378.

The first Pope to move to Avignon was Pope Clement V, who was an avid wine lover. Pope Clement V also spent time in Bordeaux at what is now called Château Pape Clément in Pessac-Léognan. The Pope moving to Avignon is of course where the region takes its name, as Châteauneuf-du-Pape is translated to mean “The Pope’s New Castle.”Châteauneuf-du-Pape was no longer a thriving community once the Pope moved back to Rome in the late 1300’s. However, wine remained important to the region and its identity until it finally became the lush wine we know and love.

This lot of some of the most iconic CdP producers is the perfect salute to this noble region. Paddles up!

There is something truly iconic about that silver label with the oak tree. It’s unmistakable and brings up fond memories of wonderful evenings spent with friends. Silver Oak has been at the forefront of Cabernet excellence for more than 45 years. These food-friendly, dynamic wines reflect years of high quality winemaking. But to truly understand what sets Silver Oak apart... Well that requires a visit to the winery. The new state-of-the-art winemaking facility is truly setting the standard of high efficiency winemaking.

The Alexander Valley facility is seeking to be the world’s second LEED-platinum certified winery (though, the first is Silver Oak’s Oakville location). There’s no higher Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design classification. It is the first winery to be 100% net zero energy and net zero water from the very start. Every drop of water has been downcycled three times. Natural light illuminates production rooms. From the solar panels to reclaimed redwood to recycled Levi’s used as insulation, nothing has been built without the utmost concern. This is a winery fit for the future.

With this lot, you’ll not only be taking home some amazing bottles from this iconic winery, but you’ll also be able to visit the state-of-the-art facilities with a VIP tour and tasting for 6 people.

TIM PITTS We appreciate the support of Tim Pitts, year after year. Thank you kindly.

Here’s some fun knowledge for your next party: Did you know that the first reference to Scotch Whisky was in 1495? The royal Exchequer Rolls from Scotland recorded the first known written reference to Scotch Whisky. The Scottish Exchequer was responsible for recording royal income and expenditure in Scotland. The well-preserved calfskin parchment, better known as vellum, bears an entry on June 1, 1495 that records “To Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt.”

The Latin term aqua vitae means “water of life.” In Scottish Gaelic this same phrase translates as uisge-beatha, the first word being pronounced “ush-kee’. English language transcriptions subsequently recorded the word as ‘Whisky.’ Cool, right??

These four bottles of Whisky from the cellar of Tim Pitts are yours for the whisking away!

• The Balvenie Single Barrel 25 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky

» The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak Aged 25 Years is a special Whisky, hand-selected by The Balvenie’s master distiller, David Stewart, and released for the first time in 2014. The new edition offers flavours of subtle spices and rich honeyed sweetness, but as no two casks from the new edition will be identical, no more than 300 bottles will be filled from any one cask.

LOT 160 TOP-SHELF WHISKY

This lot includes:

• The Balvenie Single Barrel 25 Year Old Malt Scotch Whisky

• Glenfiddich ‘Excellence’ 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

• Glenfiddich ‘Winter Storm’ Icewine Cask Finish 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

• William Grant & Sons Rare Cask Reserves ‘Ghosted Reserve’ 26 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

133 | Live Auction

• Glenfiddich ‘Excellence’ 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

» This Whisky was created to honor the distillery’s long, continuous line of family ownership since its founding by William Grant in 1887. Grant, along with the help of his nine children and a single stone mason, began construction of the Glenfiddich Distillery, situated in the Speyside region of Scotland. After a year of hard labor, the first drop of Whisky fell from the distillery’s copper-pot stills on Christmas Day 1887.

• Glenfiddich ‘Winter Storm’ Icewine Cask Finish 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

» Glenfiddich Winter Storm is a 21-year-old single malt finished for six months in French oak casks previously containing icewine from Peller Estate in Niagara. Having visited the Peller Estate winery in January 2016, Glenfiddich malt master Brian Kinsman experimented with maturing Scotch Whisky in several different icewine casks. He said: “Only the rarer Whiskies, those aged for 21 years, could cope with the extra icewine intensity.” Having more tannins, extracted from years in oak, these malts brought out a uniquely fresh lychee note instead of being swamped by sweetness. The resulting liquid is a unique combination of the warming soul of Whisky and the frozen cold of icewine.

• William Grant & Sons Rare Cask Reserves ‘Ghosted Reserve’ 26 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

» William Grant’s Ghosted Reserve 26 Year Old is a blended malt Scotch Whisky featuring Whisky from two closed distilleries - Ladyburn and Inverleven. Both distilleries have been silent for quite a while indeed, with Inverleven being mothballed in 1991 and Ladyburn being closed back in 1975, so seeing their spirit released is always pretty awesome - seeing released together in a blended malt adds yet more intrigue!

JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS

MEADOWOOD NAPA VALLEY I want this too -- great fun in Napa. TB

For those who love Napa luxury and Insignia, this is the lot of your dreams.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards has been at the forefront of innovation in Napa Valley in more ways than just one. Its 1973 Syrah was the first ever varietally-labeled Syrah in US history. Insignia is one of the most iconic wines of Napa Valley, but did you know that utilizing that proprietary name was a unique concept back in 1973? Creating that easily identifiable name offered more flexibility in blending than a varietal moniker would have. It also avoided the standard fall backs of the time, like “Claret” or “Bordeaux Red.”

Insignia’s track record of high scores and collectability has been built not just on lip-smacking drinkability, but also complexity and consistency. And, though it is a wine that drinks well young, it ages magnificently.Included in your next Napa trip is a private, high-end tasting for four at Joseph Phelps Vineyards which showcases a selection of current releases and a tasting of Insignia.

Making this tasting all the better are the accommodations you’ll be experiencing while in Napa... A two-night stay for two at Meadowood Napa Valley.

Nestled into the forested hillside of the valley just down the road from Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Meadowood Napa Valley is a place where the pace of life moves with the seasons, where the traditional values of simple pleasures, physical well-being, and cultural enrichment are part of every day; where spirited mealtime conversations with family and friends are common, yet celebrated.

LOT 162 TWO GREAT TASTES: INSIGNIA AND MEADOWOOD

This lot includes:

• Joseph Phelps Vineyards Insignia 2014 (3L)

• Tasting for 4 at Joseph Phelps Vineyards

• 2-night stay for 2 at Meadowood Napa Valley

Tonight you’ll take home a 3L of 2014 Insignia. One of the few vintages made without Merlot, this vintage is definitely one to crack open and share with friends while planning your luxurious trip to Napa.

Restrictions: Meadowood lodging is available Sunday through Wednesday nights only during the months of December -July. Reservations are based on availability.

MICHAEL & CINDEE GOLD Michael and Cindee are PURE GOLD! We appreciate your generous support.

Lokoya is simple: 4 vineyards, all above the fog line, producing 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s in the simplicity that the magic exists. Established in 1995, Lokoya is a collection of four 100% varietal Cabernet Sauvignons from four of Napa Valley’s most celebrated mountain appellations: Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain and Mount Veeder. Each of the wines is different from the other; they highlight the terroir differences of their source appellations while showcasing the varietal that Napa is most famous for – Cabernet Sauvignon.

Diamond Mountain overlooks the town of Calistoga in the northern reaches of Napa Valley and is part of the Mayacamas Mountains which frame the western edge of the valley. Lokoya’s Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon was first crafted in 1995, and is sourced from a selection of blocks on three distinct vineyards: the estate-owned Rhyolite Ridge (1,200 feet) and Wallis vineyards (1,500 feet), as well as the Andrew Geoffrey vineyard (1,800 feet). Situated above the fog line, the vineyards experience cooler days and warmer nights with less temperature variation than on the northern valley floor. High elevation, poor soils and a moderate climate yield full-bodied wines that show rich black cherry flavor and notes of dark chocolate with relatively soft tannins.

Take home this case of Lokoya’s Diamond Mountain Cabernet from 2008, you won’t be disappointed.

MICHAEL & CINDEE GOLD Thank you Jean-Noel Formeaux and Michael and Cindee Gold for this very special donation.

This record-setting wine has not even been released yet, and it’s already shaking up the wine world. At this year’s Auction Napa Valley, a barrel of the Inaugural Release of FOURMEAUX sold for $114,300, or $952.50 per bottle ($11,430 per case) surpassing the previous high set in 2017 by Harlan’s The Mascot by more than $40,000! The Bordeaux-style red wine debuted at the event and is named after VGS Chateau Potelle proprietor Jean-Noel Fourmeaux. Fourmeaux, who hails from France, founded the winery in 1983 and has been overseeing the production of small-batch, Bordeaux-style wines since then. This inaugural release of FOURMEAUX is a highly concentrated, rich and complex wine from grapes grown atop Mount Veeder at an elevation of about 2,000 feet. The production is 200 cases — 10 of which were accounted for in the winning barrel. The wine itself was aged for 24 months in French oak and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (82%), Cabernet Franc (14%), Petit Verdot (3%) and Malbec (1%). “Making mainstream wines has never been my calling,” said Fourmeaux. “I make wines with passion and without pretension. I’m glad this one appealed to this very connoisseur group of bidders.” And guess what? We’ve got three bottles of this special wine in a leather case to boot. How’s that for exclusive access?

201 BLACK BY BLACK IN DOUBLE MAGNUM

“Black by Black” was inspired by arguably the top wine collector in the world, Tom Black, and the L.A. Times Winemaker of the Year, Jim Clendenen from Au Bon Climat Winery. The winemaker selected only “the finest grapes” from a 300 acre ranch in Santa Barbara County to create a special Meritage wine that has won several blind tastings and been scored a perfect 100 points. This wine is a combination of 40% California Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot to produce a bold and balanced red wine. You can only get this wine at charity auctions and with only 25 cases produced, this is an extremely exclusive lot. Large format bottles can be cellared for another 10 years, but the wine is drinking great now!

The label is an original piece of art by Master Sumi-e artist Drue Kataoka. The back label is a poem (in Japanese) written by Drue about the friendship between Jim and Tom. The label has seven different shades of black ink. Once a stroke is painted it cannot be changed or erased, making the painting technically demanding while requiring great skill, concentration and years of training.

They selected fruit from Tourmaline Vineyard in Coombsville, CA to source for their wine because it was a favorite of Paul Hobbs. (In fact, right after the 2012 harvest, Hobbs purchased the vineyard rather than continuing to simply buy grapes there!) The Dudneys had a great time in the winemaking process and were very involved from day one. They even named the wine “l’Ambassadeur” (French for Ambassador) as an homage to their group at VICC.

Now the Dudneys have come full circle and have graciously donated a case of their l’Ambassadeur for auction. This is wine that was originally purchased in the 2012 l’Eté du Vin Live Auction, although it technically did not exist at the time. Born in the Tourmaline Vineyard in CA and dedicated to their group at VICC, these bottles have come back to their roots and are being sold to support Nashville Wine Auction, who supports VICC! And with all that back story, it is worth noting… It’s also great juice!

Live Auction Each Live Auction lot will be offered in catalog sequence. Any variation from the catalog description will be announced by the Auctioneer at the time the lot is offered. Please listen carefully as the Auctioneer presents various lots and explains the procedure for placing bids. The Auction-eer will announce each lot number, and bidding will commence at his/her discretion. Each lot will be sold to the highest bidder. Bidding will advance in increments decided by the Auctioneer. All sales are final.

Indication of a bid should be made by a positive display of your hand or numbered bidding paddle, and may be made directly to the Auctioneer or any of the bid spotters nearby.

Please note: Nose-scratching and earlobe pulling may be done with impunity. It is, however, unwise to frantically wave to your friend across the room while bidding is in progress!

While most lots are sold to the single highest bidder, we do offer specialty lots that operate on a different set of rules. These include:

Buy-A-SpotSome of the lots in the Live Auction will be sold as Buy-A-Spot (formerly known as Dutch) auction lots. Unlike the individual bidding of a regular auction lot, a Buy-A-Spot works by elimination. The Auctioneer suggests an opening bid and anyone willing to pay that price stands up (everyone present may stand). As the price rises higher and higher, anyone willing to pay the new bid remains standing; others simply take their seats. This continues until the number of people standing matches the number of items available. Each bidder standing when the hammer falls receives one item, paying the last (highest) bid named. Please indicate to the Auctioneer if you wish more than one item by holding up the corresponding number of fingers before bidding closes.

Multisale Lots (Formerly Set-Price Signups)Some of the lots in the Silent and Live Auctions will be sold at a pre-determined selling price. These lots are for attendance at “Specially Organized Events” in which a large number of spaces are available or for selling items that we have a number in inventory.

If you wish to purchase a spot using Mobile Bidding in the Silent Auction, simply click Buy on your mobile device and select your desired quantity.

These Special Event lots will be kept open for purchase throughout the Silent Auction. Often times, open spots will be offered in the Live Auction starting at the same set-price. Once introduced in the Live Auction, the price could increase depending on demand.


Conditions of Bidding and Lot Purchases

1. Lots may be added, amended or deleted by the published addenda to the cata-log, by notice posted on the lot display, or by verbal announcement during the auction.

2. The Nashville Wine Auction will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy of the descriptions of the wines offered in the catalog or on bid sheets. Such information and notes about each lot are statements of opinion or references from published wine sources or experts. There is no warranty, expressed or implied, as to any sale lot’s quality, value or suitability for any purpose whatsoever.

3. All wines and tangible merchandise are sold “As is, Where is.” Wine and other tangible lots are on display and available for your examination. By bidding on any lot, you acknowledge that you have inspected the lot, and find it in satisfactory condition to warrant your bid. Lots made up of trips, dinners or other intangible services are represented in good faith in the catalog. By bidding on a lot, you acknowledge that you have read the description of that lot, and find the description satisfactory to warrant your bid.

4. The Nashville Wine Auction makes every effort to maintain and store wine responsibly. When wine is received, it is stored in a temperature controlled cellar. It is carefully moved to the auction site in a temperature controlled vehicle. The Nashville Wine Auction is not responsible for the provenance of any wine or for the condition of its storage and handling before being placed in the possession of the Nashville Wine Auction.

5. Bids on lots will be accepted only from registered persons who have pre-registered their credit card and have been issued a current bidding number by the Nashville Wine Auction. Bidding methods and rules may vary for certain lots. This information will be given in the catalog, on the bid sheet or display, or by the Auctioneer. Bids may be rejected, if the stated requirements are not met by the bidder.

6. A live auction bid is only valid when it is recognized by the Auctioneer. At the word “Sold,” the acknowledged bidder is deemed to have purchased the lot and thereupon assumes responsibility to pay the price announced by the Auctioneer. By participating in the Auction, a bidder agrees to pay the full purchase price for all lots recorded by auction personnel to his/her assigned bid number.

7. For each Live lot purchased, the buyer will be required to sign a form confirming the buyer’s name and the lot’s price directly after the lot has been sold. These confirmation forms will be brought to the bidder’s assigned table. Therefore, it is necessary for each bidder to remain at his/her assigned table throughout the evening.

8. In case of a bid dispute in the Live Auction, either among individual bidders or between bidders and the Auctioneer, the Auctioneer will have the sole and final authority to resolve the dispute. Such resolution may include, but is not limited to: reselling, reopening the bidding only between the disputing bidders, or awarding the sale at the Auctioneer’s judgment. The final bidder and amount announced by the Auctioneer is indisputable.


9. Full payment is required at or before the conclusion of the Auction and prior to the removal of any lot. Nashville Wine Auction accepts checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express. The credit card(s) you provided at registration to receive your bidding paddle will be charged for the amount of your lot purchases after the auction unless another form of payment is presented at Check Out. The Check Out station will be clearly marked. Buyers will be given a statement which must be presented at the Pick Up area in order for the lots to be released.

10. All buyers must take possession of their wine and/or other tangible purchases from the Pick Up area on the night of the auction. Nashville Wine Auction will bear no responsibility for any wine or other tangible lot that has not been taken possession of and removed from the auction premises by the buyer.

11. In the event of loss or damage to any lot incurred in the course of its handling or storage during the auction event and before possession is taken by the buyer, the buyer will be compensated only as follows:

• if the lot has not been paid for, the exact amount of the bid amount will be subtracted from the buyer’s bidding statement.

• if the lot has been paid for, the buyer will receive a refund of the bid amount only.

The goods sold at this event have no valuation beyond the amount of the final bid. Therefore, such credit or refunds are the sole remedy which will be made for such losses.

Lots that are not picked up on the night of the auction will be moved to the Nashville Wine Auction office. Law prohibits Nashville Wine Auction from delivering wine to buyers after purchase; therefore, it is the buyer’s responsibility to pick up their purchases at the office (3015 Poston Avenue, Suite 200, Nashville, TN 37203). Lots that have not been picked up within 90 days after August 4, 2018 will be forfeited.

12. Admission to dinners, tastings and other Nashville Wine Auction events that are purchased at auction are not permitted to be resold or donated to another auction. Admission to dinners, tastings and other Nashville Wine Auction events that are purchased at auction may not be resold or transferred to another buyer without the permission of Nashville Wine Auction in advance.

13. Nashville Wine Auction is not responsible to refund admission prices for dinners, tastings or events if the winning bidder is not able to attend for any reason. Nashville Wine Auction is not responsible to refund admission prices for dinners, tastings or events that must be rescheduled due to weather or other acts of God.

14. Nashville Wine Auction is classified as a tax-exempt corporation (Tax I.D. Number is 71-0918163) under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).

Trip Guidelines

1. Features and Amenities: Trips will be scheduled by the Nashville Wine Auction according to the catalog description or as described by the Auctioneer. Trips are comprised of donated components, many of which have limitations and restrictions. Deviations from the trip description which incur additional costs will be at the buyer(s) own expense.

2. Trip Components: Trips are sold as a package. Accommodations, dinners, air transportation, rental cars, venue tickets, rail passes, scheduled visits, or any other features which are included in the catalog lot description must be used only in conjunction with the specific trip described in the catalog.


3. Scheduling: Unless stated otherwise in the catalog description, all trips must be completed within one year from the date of the auction. Trips not taken within this or the special stated time limits will be forfeited with no refund made, without regard for the reason such trip was not taken. If a specific date for a trip is stated in the catalog, the trip is limited to that date only and must be taken on that specific date, no exceptions. Scheduling of donated features is subject to availability. Trips with special features (tours, tastings, stays) must be scheduled at least 60-90 days in advance.

4. Changes and Cancellation: Once the trip is scheduled and confirmed by the donors, changes may not be allowed by the donors. If the changing or canceling of any feature results in the donor being unable to honor the requested changes, the Nashville Wine Auction will not refund any portion of the lot purchase.

5. Airline Restrictions:• Airlines maintain a limited inventory of donated seats on any flight. Every

effort will be made to fulfill your desired travel dates, but they are not guaranteed available. Once your flight(s) has been ticketed, changes in the schedule are rarely attainable and all require a change-in-schedule fee. Any re-booking fee will become the responsibility of the buyer. Airline schedules are subject to change and are beyond our control. Should a cancellation occur, the Airline will make a reasonable effort to accommodate the buyer. However, the Nashville Wine Auction is not responsible in the event of flight changes or cancellations.

• Departure and arrival locations must be served by the Airline. Code shares do not qualify.

• Flights must be booked at least 3 months in advance. Seats for promotional tickets/travel are capacity controlled and are based on availability at the time of reservation. Although seats may be available for purchase through the Airline, the same seats are not guaranteed available for use with vouchers/promotional tickets. Once ticketed, fees per person apply for simple date/time changes, routing changes, and/or name changes. It is the buyer(s) responsibility to pay these fees if changes are made.

• The class of travel is also based upon availability. If the specified class is not available for any portion of your flight, Nashville Wine Auction is not responsible. Certain legs of your trip may not offer first or business class, or these seats may be filled. The Airline will try and accommodate the class specification as best they can, but it is not guaranteed.

• Trip buyers are responsible for luggage fees.

6. Domestic Trips: Please read the catalog lot description carefully regarding domestic air transportation and the class of service offered for each lot. Some trips do not include air transportation. If included in the trip, domestic flights may be contributed or arranged through various airlines. Review the lot description thoroughly before bidding.

7. Upgrades and Mileage Credit: Upgrades are not available on donated tickets for either domestic or international flights. Mileage credit or any other promotional benefits are not available for donated air transportation. Stopovers are not allowed, except for connecting purposes.


8. Rental Cars: Some trips may include the use of a rental car. Rental car companies require payment to be made by the person operating the car. The Nashville Wine Auction cannot guarantee that the type of car reserved will be available at the time of pick-up. Based on the inventory of the car provider, a specific car which was reserved may not be available at the time of pick-up. If the car reserved is not available, a suitable replacement of a comparable model will be reimbursed by the Nashville Wine Auction. Any additional upgrade made by the buyer will not be reimbursed.

9. Reimbursements: For practical reasons (or requirements by vendors), some trip features or amenities may have to be paid for by the buyers at the time of use. Such expenditures will be reimbursed in full by the Nashville Wine Auction, provided that:• the feature or amenity is specifically included in the trip lot description

• the amount spent is equal to or less than the agreed upon amount set by Nashville Wine Auction

• the buyer renders to the Nashville Wine Auction proper documentation - paid invoices or credit card receipts

• all documentation is submitted to the Nashville Wine Auction Administrative Office within 60 days after the return date of the trip.

10. Vouchers: The buyer is responsible for any vouchers (Certificates, gift cards, tickets, etc.) given on auction night. If lost, the Nashville Wine Auction cannot guarantee a replacement will be granted.
